IA Week Atlanta I November 12 – November 14 I Atlanta

The finance function is a cornerstone of every business, but to remain relevant in today’s rapidly evolving landscape, it must be at the forefront of change. Global enterprises are grappling with unprecedented challenges, from shifting consumer behaviors and geopolitical tensions to fragile supply chains and the transformative power of AI.

The era of AI has arrived, demanding a fundamental rethinking of the finance function. To capitalize on the opportunities presented by AI, finance teams must not only address the challenges of the present but also lay the groundwork for a future-proof organization.

In this workshop, we will explore the essential elements that must be integrated into a future oriented finance function.

  • FaaS (finance as a service) options
  • Data, as fuel for the function and resource of the enterprise
  • AI readiness
    • Operating model
    • Talent
    • Governance
    • Risk
  • Analytics and reporting
  • Labor and capability strategy (digital and human)

Finance must deploy a roadmap of nearly continuous transformation; not just for itself, but as a nucleus around which the enterprise can rely on in these uncertain times.

Join us as we explore the three core ingredients—people, process, and technology—that must be updated and expanded to ensure a robust and resilient finance function:

  • People: Roles, skills, and talent development.
  • Process: Oversight, speed, cost to serve, and metrics.
  • Technology: Automation, cloud, data, and AI.
